I think that's really risky to make yourself unsexy, because the business demands that women be sexy.

For a lot of people, if they're lucky, it begins with somebody who recognizes something in them.

In independent film you tend to have stories that involve more of a community, and the smaller characters are important to the story.

A lot of the things I've enjoyed the most and that I think have been the best are ensembles.

I'd never done any film or television. Well, I'd done one little stupid commercial in Boston when I was doing theater, but that was it.

Because I'd only done theater, that's really what I thought most of my life would be. I always figured that movies would be a part of it at some point. I didn't know how or when.

I just figured, "If I can do theater, agents will find their way."
